U.S. Army Develops Dark Eagle Hypersonic Weapon to Counter China's Missile Capabilities, with Range Over 5,000 km
Nov 25, 2024, 08:22 AM
The U.S. Army is advancing the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), also known as 'Dark Eagle,' to address China's growing capabilities in intermediate-range missiles. This development comes as multiple U.S. military branches are testing hypersonic missile systems, while the Department of Defense is assessing how these new weapons will integrate into joint military operations. Concurrently, Japan's Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency is planning a new radar system to enhance interception capabilities for hypersonic missiles, reflecting a global trend in hypersonic technology development. Additionally, BAE Systems is rapidly developing the Herne XLUAV, an autonomous platform designed to extend operational reach beyond 5,000 kilometers and enhance naval combat capabilities by reducing reliance on crewed vessels.
